@jennifersokell@orionedgar Dangerous indeed for SSM Chaplain *and* students, both made vulnerable when welfare work is underfunded and under-resourced for ongoing training and oversight; think again pls @DioceseofSheff @sheffielduni.
Today I visited Mother Maria Skobtsova's tree at Yad Vashem, where she's remembered as a Righteous Among the Nations for her work rescuing Jews in Paris, for which she was killed.
I read her troparion which end with her voice: 'I have offered myself in love.' @yadvashem

20 yrs ago today activist #RachelCorrie was crushed by a bulldozer in Gaza; Patti Smith wrote this song then and posts it now for young people being killed by war & state repression & those who mourn their loss.

@alicelydiajoy Yes, but how many of us actually live within this 15-minute reality, and how likely is that that decades of planning with cars in mind will be rectified in our lifetimes? Especially with cost of living and covid killing off local business everywhere. Noble aspiration.
@nickswarb I have an idolatrous worship of Michelle Yeoh, and am currently grappling with the IRS and US taxes myself, so I thought I would love this film--went to see it in cinema and just felt assaulted and dismayed, we left 1/3 way through! I share your bafflement.
